Reply to: All Jaguar cars electric only be 2025

Great! My investment in buying a mile of railway cuttings next to my house should pay off big time, because some massive, secure, unobtrusive batteries will be needed to locally store power for all that recharging!

Yeah great job - they’ll knock your house down to expand the storage too.

This is where Tesla are light years ahead with their free superfast chargers everywhere.

For now...

Sales very small for the brand to survive - “going electric” is a way to put it down.

I suppose you could remove the staff and friends and family incentive to reduce new registrations and kill it quicker!

Whenever I see ICE, I always think 'In Car Entertainment' and I have a brief moment of confusion until I figure it out

I look forward them to rolling out street charging around my house then
My that will be fun, fun fun!

What they mean is that only few sales that Jaguar will still have by 2025 will be electric.

Dead brand

Jaguar Land Rover recovery continues as latest sales figures released - CoventryLive

aguar Land Rover’s recovery is continuing thanks a rosy set of recent sales figures as the Coventry car maker bids to get back on track following the damaging effects of the coronavirus pandemic.The company marked the end of 2020 with a second successive quarter-on-quarter recovery in sales, despite the continuing impact of Covid-19.

Retail sales for the final quarter of 2020 (October to December) were 128,469 vehicles - a 13.1% oncrease on the 113,569 vehicles sold in the July to September quarter.
The latest figure represents a 9% on the October to December period in 2019 but comes as welcome news as the automotive industry globally continues to be hit hard by the pandemic.
Jaguar Land Rover said sales in China were particularly encouraging, up 20.2% on the prior quarter and 19.1% year-on-year.

when do we get sufficient electricity generation to charge these things when every bugger has one?
That's right. We don't. No new nukes, no base load power. If it's cloudy and calm you're going nowhere.
And that's before we factor in heating moving to electric.

By 2025 the rules on taxing electricity will have changed.
You'll get charged more for faster use (a power charge on top of the energy charge), both in tax and to the power generators.
Great if you can trickle feed the car over a whole day. Expensive if you want it done in 45 minutes.
All enabled by smart meters.

That hertz motorists.

One reason to change supplier every year to a small one - unfortunately they are all going bust....

I'm with Bulb and they have been pushing the smart meter thing. They don't really work in my block of flats as all the meters are in a central place, underground.

I am ahead of the game with my i-pace - however don't get me started on public charging facilities.
No point being all electric if there is only very few, very slow and many broken charging points

We won't need to go anywhere - we'll still be staying at home, helping the NHS and saving lives.

Let's hope that is because most jobs are now WFH not because there is another pandemic.

And that's why i'm doing my little bit by resisting all attempts to date to install a smart meter - its not for our benefit - its simply so that differential pricing can be thrust upon us for maximum profit, in the guise of controlling peak usage.

I'm not naive enough to think I won't eventually be forced to get one, however.
